Hi all,

Some good news :)

I've just received a post from a friend who wrote to the ABS and received the following back

"Thank you for your inquiry regarding our web site and the e-Census form.

The eCensus testing program has included compatibility testing with a range of operating systems and browsers. This has included testing on Mac and Linux OSs as well as different versions of Windows. We have tested with a variety of browsers including IE, Netscape, Firefox, Safari and Konquerer. All have passed testing and the only
differences we are aware of are minor cosmetic ones."

Additionally this was posted to another group:

"For further information, please consult the 'Help' function in your browser or click on the link to: Mozilla Firefox (Recommended for Apple Macintosh and Linux)

See: https://stream3.census.abs.gov.au/eCensusWeb/technical_help.html

I also did my census online (F'fox on KUbuntu 5.10) without a hitch. It was a much better experience than completing the paper form.

Additionally, I agree with James - we need to put more pressure on the ATO.

Regards,

Patrick

What a pleasure, why-o-why can't the tax department wax clever, instead of all the IE rubbish? Can't someone rub their nose in it, like a naughty puppy
